A subtle change for Titans QB

For the last couple of seasons, Titans quarterbacks have worn wristbands that contained designations for formations and plays.

A code word or number would be sent from the sidelines to the quarterback, he would select the corresponding formation and play on the wristband and relay the information to his teammates.

Not now. New offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains doesn’t believe in the wristband.

Locker agrees. After a mini-camp practice session on Tuesday, Locker said he’s “comfortable” with the decision to eliminate the wristband. Moreover, he believes Loggains’ streamlined offensive signals, which eliminate two or three words from each play call when compared to last year’s system, is a step in the right direction.

“It allows all of us to play fast,” he said.

Coach Mike Munchak offered an interesting perspective to the elimination of the wristband. In the past, the quarterback could be seen reading from his wristband when calling the play in the huddle. Now, Locker will be looking at his teammates as he is relaying the call.

“As an offensive lineman, you look for eye contact,” he said.

Yes, it’s a little thing. But as the Titans seek improvement, every little bit helps.
